Pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist

Feeding & Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy

Part-time, 16 hours per week. W-2 employee. Tampa, FL.

​

Our caseload comes from an established waitlist and ongoing referrals from pediatric dentists, lactation consultants, and bodyworkers across Tampa Bay, so you won't be building a caseload through your own marketing. Because we're private-pay, treatment decisions are made clinically: no authorizations to chase, no visit caps, and no goals written to satisfy a payer. This role suits a clinician with a general pediatric background who wants to develop specialized expertise in feeding, oral function, and myofunctional therapy.

​

Schedule and compensation

Pay: $50-56 per hour, based on experience

Hours: 16 hours per week, guaranteed. You are paid for scheduled hours, not client attendance. If a family cancels, you are still paid.

Days: Two consistent 8 hour days within the clinic hours of 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM

Caseload: About 5.5 to 6.5 billable hours per day, leaving roughly two paid hours each day for documentation, parent communication, and preparation

Location: 3502 Henderson Blvd., Suite 308, Tampa, FL 33609. Clinic-based, with no travel between clients.

Start date: Flexible. As a private-pay practice we do not require insurance credentialing, so there is no waiting period to begin seeing clients.

Full-time: 32 hours per week, available once a caseload sustains an average of 24 or more billable hours per week. Compensation and benefits at full-time, including paid time off, are discussed as part of the offer conversation.
